most of the "[[System of 1896]]", the Upper Peninsula was overwhelmingly Republican even by the standards of Michigan during this era. Some of its counties would often vote for the Republican candidate by among the widest margins in the nation. However, the region's politics began shifting in [[1924 United States presidential election in Michigan|1924]], when the Upper Peninsula was the strongest region in Michigan for the insurgent candidacy of [[Progressive Party (United States, 1924–1934)|Progressive]] [[Robert M. La Follette]].<ref>{{cite web |publisher=Géographie électorale |url=http://geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1924lafo.htm |title=Presidential election of 1924: popular vote for La Follette |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231204055800/http://geoelections.free.fr/USA/elec_comtes/1924lafo.htm |archive-date=December 4, 2023 }}</ref> After the [[Great Depression]] and as the [[New Deal]] era progressed, the Upper Peninsula became more Democratic than the state as a whole, voting that way when the state did not in [[1940 United States presidential election in Michigan|1940]], [[1948 United States presidential election in Michigan|1948]], [[1976 United States presidential election in Michigan|1976]], and [[1988 United States presidential election in Michigan|1988]]. However, the region would move back to Republicans in the 21st century, voting for the GOP candidate every time except in [[2008 United States presidential election in Michigan|2008]], when [[Barack Obama]] was able to carry it in his landslide victory in Michigan, though by much less than the state as a whole. The UP did not vote for his re-election in [[2012 United States presidential election in Michigan|2012]] while the state did, and it further shifted to the Republican Party during the ascendancy of [[Donald Trump]], where his victory in the UP was vital in flipping the state red in [[2016 United States presidential election in Michigan|2016]]. It voted Republican once more in [[2020 United States presidential election in Michigan|2020]] and [[2024 United States presidential election in Michigan|2024]], Trump had the best performance for a Republican there in nearly a century in where Michigan flipped red again in 2024. {| class="wikitable plainrowheaders sortable mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" style="text-align: right;" |+ 2012 presidential election<ref>{{cite web |url=http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/12GEN/COUNTYVT.html |title=Election Results: General Election November 06, 2012: Total voters by county |date=January 4, 2013 |website=Michigan Secretary of State |access-date=June 3, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130218202404/http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/12GEN/COUNTYVT.html |archive-date=February 18, 2013 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/12GEN/01000000.html |title=Election Results: General Election November 06, 2012: Summary Totals, Detailed Totals |date=January 4, 2013 |website=Michigan Secretary of State |access-date=June 3, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130518042132/http://miboecfr.nictusa.com/election/results/12GEN/01000000.html |archive-date=May 18, 2013 }}</ref> |- !scope="col" | County !scope="col" | Registered voters !scope="col" | Votes cast !scope="col" | Romney/Ryan !scope="col" | Obama/Biden !scope="col" | Result |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Alger County|Alger]] | 4,671 | 4,618 | '''2,330''' | 2,212 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Baraga County|Baraga]] | 3,540 | 3,490 | '''1,866''' | 1,574 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Chippewa County, Michigan|Chippewa]] | 15,790 | 15,564 | '''8,278''' | 7,100 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Delta County, Michigan|Delta]] | 18,968 | 18,050 | '''9,534''' | 8,330 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Dickinson County, Michigan|Dickinson]] | 12,950 | 12,810 | '''7,688''' | 4,952 | REP |-{{Party shading/Democratic}} !scope="row" | [[Gogebic County|Gogebic]] | 7,689 | 7,576 | 3,444 | '''4,058''' | DEM |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Houghton County|Houghton]] | 15,477 | 15,282 | '''8,196''' | 6,801 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Iron County, Michigan|Iron]] | 6,065 | 5,988 | '''3,224''' | 2,687 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Keweenaw County|Keweenaw]] | 1,411 | 1,392 | 774 | 582 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Luce County|Luce]] | 3,401 | 2,596 | '''1,580''' | 991 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Mackinac County|Mackinac]] | 6,170 | 6,099 | 3,397 | 2,652 | REP |-{{Party shading/Democratic}} !scope="row" | [[Marquette County, Michigan|Marquette]] | 32,551 | 32,194 | 13,606 | '''18,115''' | DEM |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Menominee County, Michigan|Menominee]] | 11,043 | 10,923 | '''5,564''' | 5,242 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Ontonagon County|Ontonagon]] | 3,599 | 3,539 | '''1,906''' | 1,586 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} !scope="row" | [[Schoolcraft County|Schoolcraft]] | 4,104 | 4,048 | '''2,142''' | 1,865 | REP |-{{Party shading/Republican}} class="sortbottom" !scope="row" | Total | 147,429 | 144,168 | '''73,529''' | 70,639 | REP |} All counties in the UP are part of [[Michigan's 1st congressional district]].
